For a third straight year, the Houston Rockets have a representative on the NBA’s All-Summer League First Team. In the NBA 2K25 edition for games in July 2024, it’s rookie guard Reed Sheppard.
Sheppard, the No. 3 overall draft pick from the 2024 first round, averaged a team-high 20.0 points (50.0% shooting), 5.3 rebounds, 4.8 assists, and 2.8 steals in four games from Las Vegas.
Other first-team members include Kel’el Ware of the Miami Heat; Jordan Miller of the Los Angeles Clippers; and Scottie Pippen Jr. and GG Jackson II of the Memphis Grizzlies. Jalen Wilson, now with the Brooklyn Nets, was named Most Valuable Player (MVP).
Sheppard’s 2024 summer-league teammate, Cam Whitmore, was a first-team member and MVP in 2023. This year, Whitmore was limited by the Rockets to only three games. A year earlier, Tari Eason was named to the NBA’s 2022 All-Summer League First Team.
Sheppard, Whitmore, and Eason will all compete for minutes with the 2024-25 Rockets when training camp opens in late September.
